Well if the babies aren’t exhausted from their first Christmas, I sure am. Probably why it’s taken me almost a week to write about it! Since my family has four birthdays in December plus Christmas, the celebrations last almost all month. We visited the 12 decorated Christmas trees at the Gardner Museum, went to the […]
‘Twas the night before Christmas and this mama reflected This time last year, Christmas felt quite neglected. As we trudged through the city looking for lodging, The ice storm we were constantly dodging. To the hospital we went on Christmas morning For the babies’ daily monitoring. Mama filled with wonder when they would make their […]
I would guess that most parents take “normal” baby things for granted. It’s expected that your baby will not only meet developmental milestones, but will exceed at them and every parent hopes that their baby is the first to do everything. Raegan is surpassing her brother’s milestones and is closer in development to her actual […]
Eleven months! This is officially the last month before the girls turn one. Sniff. Don’t mind me, just trying to figure out where this year has gone. What a difference a month has made for Raegan in particular. In just one month, she got four teeth, is officially crawling, sits up more on her own […]
The other day, the kids and I had brunch with a friend. At least, it was meant to be brunch, but after our wait it turned into lunch. Considering the wait, heat, and how packed the restaurant was, I thought we all survived pretty well. Towards the end, Raegan lost it a bit and started […]
Due to some jerky polar vortex this week, we were all given a lovely reminder that winter is, in fact, coming. I’ve never been a fan of winter. Yes, my favourite holiday is nestled in there, all warm and snug, but even Christmas cannot save winter for me. I hate snow, slush, ice, and cold. […]
It’s strange to think that all us mono mono mamas are also preemie mamas. In only extremely rare circumstances would mono mono twins be born full term because of all the complications associated with a mono mono pregnancy. I think knowing that your baby is going to be premature makes you savour every minute of […]
Today is World Prematurity Day, a day meant to raise awareness about premature birth and infant death. The statistics are staggering; 15 million babies are born premature every year and one baby dies every thirty seconds from being born too soon. Every thirty seconds. By the time we get our Starbucks, something like 6 babies […]
Ten months and the countdown to their first birthdays is officially on. Sigh. What a year it’s been and it is flying by at incredible speeds. At their last appointment, Raegan weighed 16 pounds and Ella 16 and a half pounds, though they feel so different in terms of weight. I swear Ella keeps that […]
Today is Jason’s birthday, and last year on his birthday we found out we were having girls. It’s pretty hard to top that surprise, but since he was off, I still wanted it to be special. We headed to lunch with the girls then over to a baby friendly movie. Considering we had two babies […]
